I get my VA care in Sacramento, which is in a different "region" from this clinic. However, because I am in the VA system, I can still get care here.
I was up here visiting family for Christmas, and I was rear-ended in my vehicle. I was a bit sore, but because my dad is about to turn 93, I wanted absolutely nothing to do with either an E.R. or an urgent care. Even though this place is appointment only right now, they were willing to take me in to look me over.
The doctor looked me over, and said I will be fine. They gave me a pain shot, and didn't just cut me loose. I had to stay about 45 minutes to make sure I was OK. No problems at all with that. I appreciate that. They sent me home with medication, but because my blood pressure was elevated, (not sure if it was because the stress of the accident, ) they wanted me to come back in the morning to double check. Again, no problem. I'm so glad that they are looking out for me. I got my meds from the pharmacy, and from walk in to walk out, I was there only about 2 hours. I came in the following morning for my follow up, and this time, I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Very reasonable.
These people are very thorough, helpful, and friendly. They're a great resource for the vets in Humboldt County. People always say "Thank you for your service" to us vets, but I want to say to them, "Thank you for *YOUR* service to us. read more
